You were desperately in need of money...Way behind on your car payments, desperate for work...So when you got lost and ended up in the old star, Norma Desmond's yard...You had to mention you were a writer.

And to your surprise she took the bait! She just so happened to have a screenplay that needed editing and guidance and would happily pay you to help her with it!

It sounded perfect and convenient in theory...but then you started to get to know Norma. She was beautiful and elegant and clearly still passionate about acting and movie making...but unstable and eccentric and developing a weird attachment to you...

She had her heart set on playing Salome in her movie...a sixteen year old dancer. Thinking confidently she could still play a part like that at forty...She didn't want any dialogue in the film. She was a silent movie star and insisted she could say anything she wanted with her eyes. She wouldn't have any scenes cut and was growing increasingly clingy with you...Now she was insisting you start staying in her guest room so you can work with her longer and beginning to interogate you about your life.

Where did you live? How old were you? Were you married? How did you become a writer? Had you seen her movies?

She wanted to know everything about you...And then she leaned over and grinned down at you, she smelled like roses..."And when were you born? What sign of the zodiac are you?" She grinned and gave you a bit of a crazed look. "I'm a Scorpio...Tell me what you are! I have to see if we're compatible!"
